I love this dress but like all bodycon dresses on me, it's just a tiny bit too short for me to wear without something on the bottom, which is probably why I wear this dress more during the colder days. Being 5'9" and curvy sucks in terms of finding stuff at the right length. Maxi's aren't exactly floor-length but instead an awkward ankle length and mini's are way too short. Anyone else have the same problem?
One consequence of packing last minute for an stay that's three weeks long is jewelry being stuffed haphazardly and therefore effectively missing. I rediscovered some rings lying in a remote pocket from one of my luggage bags today.
I'm antsy. I actually secretly wish the semester would start back up so I can feel a bit more purposeful. Doodling and playing games all day is getting boring...although I do like being able to sleep and eat more regularly. Do don't MATH, kids. Stay away from engineering ;).

I love the whole outfit and the jewelry! And I totally understand the engineering thing. I'm not in engineering but my fiance is a Electrical/Computer engineer at UT too!
ReplyDeletebrittney: ahhh electrical engineering... that's tough! I have to take one EE course on circuits this coming semester and I'm NOT looking forward to it!
ReplyDeleteYou look really cute!! Anyway, I'm 5'5" and some maxi even fell short for me, I feel like some stores like F21 and Victoria secret are more designs for petite and skinny girls nowadays, every outfit that I look at the model online with knee length will get me to a mini length that I can barely get my ass cover. Then I decided to go to a more designer stuff, and all of them are way to long for me :-( the joy of being in an awkward heights

angga: too true!!! although I wonder if they make an especially long dress/skirt for the model since the model's probably pretty tall???
ReplyDeleteIm 5'8 and have the same problem, so I constantly wear tights. I didn't even think I was that tall but I barely get coverage :|
ReplyDeleteWow...I love how you combined the two scarves!
ReplyDeleteI'm 5'3", so I don't even look at maxis. :(
anon: apparently the average female height in the U.S. is around 5'5"?
ReplyDeleteI love the layered scarves! Very cool! And love the gray pumps, too! I sometimes have that problem - I'm not overly tall (I'm 5'6) but it must be due to my proportions, as things seem very short in the back on me! So frustrating when you find a dress you love, only to realize you can't really wear it as a dress! Been there a million times!
ReplyDeleteYour jewelery is amazing!
ReplyDeleteWhere do you get things like the snake ring and claw cuff?
claw cuff: asos. snake ring: ebay (i think? I've had it for over a year...)
ReplyDeleteI am 5'8" so I have the same problems. Mini skirts are the hardest to find. Tights are a must :)
ReplyDeleteLove the scarf! :)
I love the colors the scarves add to this outfit. You have inspired me to create something similar.
ReplyDeletewow i love how you layered your scarf!!!:) cute look diya! and happy new year!:)

This outfit is so perfect! This might sound silly but I feel like I have seen you before? Like on TV or some other pictures? Have you done anything like acting or modeling? xx
ReplyDeleteI love your twisted scarves.
ReplyDeleteAs for dresses, I have the opposite problem. There must someone out there who is "average" height. :-)
So cool outfit! Love the details!
ReplyDeleteyour jewellery is immense! x
ReplyDeleteI'v enever thought of combining two scarfs, that's so clever!

I love tha scarf! The outft is great, the skirt is cool, although it's way too short for me..I am not confident enogh to wear such mini skirts like you are.
ReplyDeleteThat dress looks great! I love minis with a tight. Great blog...Happy New Year : )

I tried to talk my son out of EE but he would have none of it. He made it through but your warning should be seriously considered because many don't and it was not a happy time. Still don't know if it was worth it.
ReplyDeletePFfft. Your body looks great in this outfit!
ReplyDeleteI wish I had your height too. :P I'm only 5'5".
I love this outfit. Very autumn-ish, but I guess since you live in Texas you can't be fully winterized.

unfortunately, my problem is the opposite..i'm only 5'2" so maxis tend to be longer..and i always have to have my jeans shortened..haha!
ReplyDeletelove the layered scarves with their different textures.
♥ vanilla ice cream ♥
Oh what a simple yet great idea of combining the scarfs. I"ll try this at home.
ReplyDeletelove it

i don't think it's the height that's the problem, it might just be the curves. I mean, i'm about 5'6" which isn't that tall so theoretically everything should fit on me but i've got more dangerous curves than the rocky mountains and an ass the size of alaska so all minis look short on me
ReplyDeleteanon: yes engineering is MUCH HARDER than most people realize when they go into the major. It's not just "math and a different form of science." It's much more. The dropout rate and the packed chemical engineering computer labs when I leave CPE at MIDNIGHT say it all.
ReplyDeleteYinmei: it might be! I'm 36D and an ass as well so that probably doesn't help.
layered scarves?! why didn't i think of that?!
ReplyDeleteKeepItFvncy,
M.E.
Lovely, beautiful, originally as always:)
ReplyDeleteHa, I am so enjoying this break from school...mostly because I haven't been able to do any real major specific courses the last semester or so...it's mostly been full of chemistry (I loathe).
ReplyDeleteLove those scarfs by the way, they look soooo warm!
You look amazing. I adore the usage of the scarves. Definitely inspirational. Loveee.

This is something special. Complicated but interesting look! Happy New Year! ~
ReplyDeleteI WISH I had your body. I'm 5'2 so nothing really fits me length wise. You look fab!
ReplyDeleteI have the same ASOS claw bracelet, it's such a great piece!
ReplyDeleteI'm so happy to see another tall girl rocking heels. I'm 5ft10 and I'm still trying to get up the confidence to wear them because I feel so awkwardly tall towering over everyone. Do you get many looks going out wearing heels?
Also, I saw those grey heels at F21 but was worried they'd be SO uncomfortable to wear because they're so cheap. How do you find them?
Megan: I wear heels all the time outside of research and classrooms...grocery shopping, eating out, etc. I think the trick is to have a bf that is at least 4 or more inches taller than you! Then it doesn't look so weird.
ReplyDeleteas for the heels, they're harder to walk in because the sole does not bend as you take a step in them like stiletto pumps do (if that makes sense) but I do not find the shoe itself to hurt my feet any more than any of the other faux leather shoes. There are shoes I don't wear when i plan on walking at all but these are fine.
i love this!!! you are so pretty.
ReplyDeleteI love the rings. So neat looking. I'm pretty short so everything is just long on me x__x which sucks doubly because it means it's harder to shop at mainstream stores. Oh well!
ReplyDeleteHappy New Year!

love your jewellery! the bracelet and the rings are so cute!

girl, you have an amazing style! love your accessories!!!
ReplyDeleteThanks Diya! Unfortunately my boyfriend and I are the same height, so while he thinks heels are sexy....he looks so torn when I wear them and he has to look up at me!
ReplyDeletemegan: men! I've never had a problem with towering over a guy I'm on a date with but that never seemed to go over well with them! I once had a boyfriend that went through the trouble of asking his mom if they can get a pair of cowboy boots (which has a slight heel) for him so he doesn't look so short when I wore heels...
ReplyDeleteSo I don't know what to recommend except I think you should wear whatever makes YOU feel great! I know I'm more pleasant to be around when I feel good about how I look...and I feel the best when I'm in heels!
I love the 2 scaves together! I might have to send you one of the scarves I knit to add to your wardrobe. By the way your outfits are amazing! Thanks for sharing.
